Hi all,
It was another hot and stiffling hike today. Debbie, Effie, Kim, and Marsha braved the heat to hike 4.13 miles on the Greenbelt. We had no canine companions today and a smaller group than usual.
We started out going by the satanic worship site which was actually confirmed by 2 FBI agents last year. Those were the same 2 FBI agents that my bad dog Willie tried to bite, but, oh, that is another story for another time. Suffice to say, Willie was not charged with attempted capital murder.
We walked down to the Greenbelt which has very little water except for the small pond that we saw at sculptured falls. Due to the heat our pace was slower. It was noticed that we had vultures that were circling over head and waiting on nearby branches. When Kim and I noticed the nearby one on the branch we immediately sped up our pace and left the vulture to hungrily eye Effie and Debbie. The TOWNIE motto to leave no one behind was severely tested today but Kim and I did look back at Effie and Debbie as they were innocently approaching Vulture ville.
We were also entertained by yellow jackets and water wasps that kept circling us. I am sure that they are hungry and thirsty as well, but none of us wanted to be a victim of the nasty stings.
We were counting the days until the heat would break, but I did figure that it is 1488 laps around my dining room table that would equal the same distance. We did give that some thought as it is inside and in an air conditioned building. We did agree that the 1488 laps may get boring after a while.
In the usual TOWNIE fashion, we ended eagerly planning our next hiking adventure outdoors.
Until next time…..
Happy Trails, Marsha
